Could this kid get his shot on the fourth line? I think the Bruins will move up Paille to the 3rd line and add someone to the 4th. This kid hits like a truck, can fight and even has some offensive potential. The hit he layed in the World juniors really caught my attention. I just think the kid is a julien and Bruin type player that might get a look. chiarelli seems like he will sit tight for now and promote a youngster. I know everyone wants Spooner and Koko but it hard to crack the top 6 in Boston.

Now if Camara crushes it in camp and plays lights out in his exhibition games should he still go to Providence ?

Is the 4th line set no matter how well any prospect does ?

San, there's not a player in camp that won't have a chance to make it if they're deserving. If someone is playing well enough to unseat a regular then so be it. PC will make a move to fit them in if they deserve it. I remember the year that Bergeron came into camp and won his job as an 18 year old. B's brass said consistently that Bergeron left them no choice. My guess is if they earn it they stay.

There's a big difference between the AHL and playing against teenagers. I think it would take a lot for him to make the team. I like Paille a lot but I think playing on the fourth line better suits him.

"We’ve got enough candidates that are vying for these jobs that I’m going to wait and see how they play. I have a general sense of how I think it’ll end up, but I’m not going to comment on it publicly because I want to see."

Chowda, in your opinion how much of his offensive potential shown this year can be attrubuted to having 2011 Jet first-rounder Scheifele as his center? As you said that's top line placement.

My opinion ?

He improved as a player ( mostly puck handling and hockey sense ) in one years time more then any other Bruins prospect that I've seen in recent times.

He also played with arguably the best offensive player in the OHL last year.

I'm thinking if he had been stuck playing a third line role ( as in the past ) his game wouldn't have improved nowhere near as much as it did.

Playing with Scheifele and producing the way he did, had to install confidence in Camara that he could play an offensive game too...................... not just a running around the ice hitting, fighting, physical forward.

That makes allot of sense, need to send Barrie's coach I nice thank you gift.

If none of these players : Smith, Fraser, Spooner, Caron, Camper, Knight, Camara ....cannot replace Thornton on the 4th line ...my advice to them is : hey kids retire right now and do something else, hockey is not,for you
